Mathilda is simply her Internet persona in 2D text that you read in her posts, nothing more.

I hope this is the right sub-forum. I'm currently in a Christian apologetics class, and I have been assigned a project. I need to find a non or "ex" Christian and ask them what the most significant intellectual issue they find in the Christian narrative. Would anyone be willing to help me out with this?
You would simply state the most important issue that discredits Christianity as a rational position, whatever it might be, and then I will prepare a Christian response to whatever objection you raise and send it to you. You would then read it and send me back a short paragraph or so (or more) detailing your response to whatever I've written. If you are willing to do this, then either post your issue below or pm me. It would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Ok. It's utter nonsense rammed down the throats of children, who know no better than to trust the people that are taking away part of their rationality.
Christianity is like any other religion that's forced into innocent minds.
Hmmm an intellectual issue in the Christian narrative, where do I start? How about God knocking up a virgin, or the resurrection story? Or any other number of ridiculous tales made for children.
You may as well have asked for intellectual issues found in the BFG.

You mean the BFG 9000?

Do you believe higher dimensions exist?
Absolutely.

What do you mean by higher dimensions? I think it's pretty clear.
Do you believe the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th ect... dimensions exist?

I don't understand enough super string theory to even begin to say exactly what the pesky 11 are let alone if they are real. Some physicists seem to think they are necessary to explain the behavior of particles but why I do not know.
Should your answer be no since you see no evidence of these other dimensions?

Really? And here's me thinking you were referring to a higher plane of existence, but then weasel words don't get any weaselier than 'higher dimensions'. They can mean anything. As in your example above.

Well no it's not pretty clear. The fact that you call them higher means that there has to be another dimension measuring height. Just labelling them 4th, 5th, 6th etc isn't enough. Are you saying that there is an order of dimensions so that the 5th dimension is higher than the 4th? Or are these just labels and we could have just as easily referred to the 5th dimension and the 4th and vice versa?
Are you referring to extra dimensions? Do things occupy all the dimensions at the same time or can things exist in some dimensions and not the others?

It seems like you're trying to avoid giving an answer...
Strange how Jenny knew exactly what I was talking about but somehow you're discombobulated.
Do you believe other dimensions (dimensions other than 1st 2nd and 3rd) exist? However you want to define a dimension is fine with me.
